this morning. >> well i woke up, i heard a lot of firefighters and i looked out the window and saw big flames across the street. >> this is video you will only see on 2, as things really get underway firefighters got called to the scene. they are threatening the surrounding home and then there is that partial roof collapse so even firefighters themselves had to evacuate. four got out on their own but one person had to be rescued. >> the heat and smoke was above their heads so they entered
